At one of the August meetings the spectators experienced a thrill by the sudden appearance of a tiny tractor biplane with a remarkable turn of speed - for those days. It was Harry Hawker on the Sopwith "Tabloid," who had flown over from Brooklands. Here you see him "hurrying" past the hangars.
The Sopwith two-seat Tabloid making its debut at Hendon on Saturday November 29, 1913, in the hands of Harry Hawker. Flight reported, “A machine was then seen approaching at a great rate over West Hendon. This turned out to be the new 80 h.p. Gnome-Sopwith biplane, piloted by H. Hawker. On entering the aerodrome he made two complete circuits at an astounding speed, which Mr Reynolds estimated at nearly 90 m.p.h.”.Самолёты на фотографии: Sopwith Tabloid - Великобритания - 1913
